Don's Birthday

Don's birthday was on Halloween, he had his internship that day so we celebrated his birthday the whole week! We went out to eat at Red Robin, and the food was soooo good! I love Red Robin! For a couple reasons really, but my favorite reason.... you get a FREE burger and FREE ice cream for your birthday! Seriously, can you beat that?? We enjoyed going on a little date with our cute little chaperon... Jackson  :)

 Getting a FREE head message...even though he gave me one too! He's the best! It's like I have two birthdays really because he always shares in the goods :)

 Our neighbors Andrea and Marv came over for the birthday celebration! They got him some slip on shoes to wear because he always goes over to see them in his socks...they are so sweet! :) I decided to get in the theme of Halloween and make a pumpkin cake.  It didn't turn out like the pictures on the internet, but I thought it was fun to make and turned out cute!

 I know....kind of a lame present to give your husband....but he LOVES Milky Ways so that's what he gets!! :)

Playing Catch Up!

So I am still trying to catch up on all the fun Halloween events at our house, I'm not doing a very good job! I still need to blog about Don's fabulous birthday....next time! Carving pumpkins was a lot of fun this year, Jackson seemed to enjoy it, he even tried eating it! Not like that's unusual, he tries to eat EVERYTHING.  But by the end, our new little pumpkin was Jackson's best friend, he just wanted to play with it the rest of the night. :)

Another mom in our ward wanted to throw a Halloween party on Halloween for all the kids.  It was a lot of fun, they had really cute Halloween treats, fun crafts and fun games. All the kids loved it! Jackson meet a new friend, and they loved playing together! He will be a sweet brother he loves being around other kids. They were supposed to dress up for the party but the face paint we used for his clown outfit is so messy, so he went as an army guy.  The hat he is wearing is one Don and I made. Don wanted to learn how to crochet :)

Jackson being a mummy, this lasted a total of 3 seconds :)

This picture makes me laugh.  Jackson gets teased a lot by his dad, but he plays back it's so fun! He never plays this game with me, just his daddy, and apparently this kid! :) We call it getting daddy.  The other moms watching were laughing so hard! The poor kid was probably wondering "what in the world is this kid doing to me". He usually makes some pretty funny noises so we get a kick out of it. 

Clownin' around...

 Jackson's first Halloween was a big hit! He loves Halloween... it's quite obvious, as you will be able to tell from the pictures. Jackson went as a clown this year, and he made the cutest clown EVER! :) Last night we had a Halloween party at our church.  All the kids were so cute in their costumes! The food was delicious, and the trunk or treat was a hit! Jackson is already looking forward to next year's Halloween! (And this year's hasn't even happened, that's how awesome the holiday is) :)

Reaping in the joys of his labors :)

  

Costumes

So I have a sneak preview of Jackson's Halloween costume...This was the hat we were working on in the beginning stages, it looks much better now :) I can't wait to see the completed thing, it will be so cute! We are all dressing up as the same thing this year, any guesses from this picture what we might be?? (sorry for the bad picture, it was taken with our phone)

Jackson helping out with the laundry

 Well I hate doing laundry, so it's nice to have a little helper! Jackson loves being in the laundry basket, I guess he really doesn't help a whole lot, but it sure makes doing laundry funner with him around! :) Even if he does start to slack and just lounge in the laundry basket. I wonder if two little boys will share that space? :)

           

       OKAY! That's it mom...I've had enough of the laundry! :)         

          

Boy....or Girl????

Alright, today was the day we found out what we are having, I put all the pictures they took of the ultrasound up so you guys could make your guesses. When we came home from our appointment, our neighbors had these two gifts waiting for us. They found out what we were having by what we picked (they are so sweet, they have become Jackson's grandparents here in Washington!) Anyways, which one do you think we picked? :)
